Social Psychologist studying manhood, masculinity, gender, lgbtq+ prejudice, underdogs. Amateur artist. Decent guitar player/bad singer. Aspiring optimist. Transgender ally.
New paper by my student, Becky Upton:

Across 60 countries, those countries with higher beliefs that manhood is a precarious social status tened to have more violence against women, attitudes more condoning of violence, and weaker legal protections for violence against women.

Got our annual sales statement, and I crunched the numbers: We've now sold 27,490 copies of Psych of Sex and Gender textboook (with Jennnifer Bosson and Camille Buckner). Not bad for a little academic text! And I know lots of students find ways to get it free. 3rd edition, coming soon!

When I'm not social-psychologizing, I like to try my hand at art. Here are some portraits of my most loyal and patient model, in various mediums: ink, paint, linocut print, charcoal, pencil, oil pastel, colored pencil.

1/2 Excited to announce a new publication with Evert Van de Vliert and Brett Pelham, in which we counter the "East vs West" framing to show that global variation in Individualism-Collectivism is predicted by North-South, not East-West differences.

New paper alert: in which we discuss sexual risk-taking, objectification of sex partners, sexual violence, and men’s derogation of LGBTQ+ people through the lens of precarious manhood.

The fragility of manhood has implications for LGBTI safety and well-being around the world. Countries where people are most endorsing of the belief that manhood is a precarious status tend to be the least accepting of LGBTI people.https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11199-023-01365-x
